If you select
By quantity
, you can create between 1 and 80 cartridges
per RAID set. The capacity decreases the more tape cartridges you
create. For example, if you select 1 tape cartridge per RAID set, each
cartridge has approximately 1.7 TB (1.45 TB for the second RAID set)
in capacity. If you select 80 tape cartridges, each cartridge has 20 GB
capacity.
b
If you select
By capacity
, you choose between 20 and 1700 GB (43 and
1450 for second RAID set) capacity per cartridge. The number of
cartridges decreases with higher capacity per cartridge. For example,
if you select 20 GB per cartridge, the number of cartridges per RAID
set is 80. If you select 1700 GB per cartridge, the number of cartridges
per RAID set is 1.

Note:
The capacity estimates mentioned in the examples above
assume a RAID 5 configuration on the storage array with
“global hot” spare. If a “global hot” spare is not used, the total
capacity is increased by 400GB. If two “global hot” spares are
used, the total capacity is decreased by 400GB.
